Walter has had personal issues taking most of his time last I heard, which just leaves me and I'm not really a programmer though I have learned a lot about porting in the last 10 years.
Answering the original post. The OS/2 Mozilla port is built with GCC, currently 4.4.1 and as far as I can see that will continue to work for building Mozilla for the foresee-able future. We are at the limit of our tool chain though, most notably our linkers. We can barely link XUL.dll and can no longer build a debug version which makes things difficult.
I see what you mean. With the switch to MSVC2010 occurring in Firefox 13 for Windows builds, I understand. With being barely able to link XUL.DLL and unable to build a debug version and users on Win2k are not in the same position as to those on OS/2. :(
